Bidding / Buying

By Bidding on or buying goods from our Website or in any sale or auction you are accepting and agreeing to these terms and conditions in whole.

IF YOU BID IN ANY AUCTION OR ON GOODS FOR SALE YOUR BID BECOMES AN IRREVOCABLE OFFER TO BUY AND MAY NOT BE WITHDRAWN. YOU WILL BE LEGALLY OBLIGED TO PURCHASE ANY ITEM FOR WHICH YOU HAVE MADE A BID AT THE PRICE BID BY YOU IF THAT BID IS SUCCESSFUL.

The winning Bid in any auction will be the highest Bid that exceeds any reserve and meets any other conditions of the relevant auction. If a Bid you make is followed by a higher Bid by another Bidder that is later removed by iForce Auctions Ltd for any reason, it shall be open to iForce Auctions Ltd to accept your earlier Bid.

Where a Buyer places a Bid on Goods then this currently Winning Bid may be superseded and replaced by other higher Bids or by a Bid from a Buyer accepting the 'Buy It Now' price set by the Seller. The Seller reserves the right to remove the 'Buy It Now' option for Goods for sale on the Website at any time.

Where the Seller offers Goods for sale on a Buy It Now basis then the Buyer is able to purchase these Goods at the price offered by the Seller at that exact point in time.

Bids must be made in increments as defined by iForce Auctions Ltd.

iForce Trading Ltd may also place Bids on your behalf at your request up to a maximum level set by you.

iForce Trading Ltd may employ the use of session cookies in our website software, the Buyer agrees that iForce Auctions Ltd can do this and acknowledges and agrees that iForce Auctions Ltd cannot and will not be liable to any Customer or any third party for any indirect loss or damage, or for any loss of data, profit or business, (whether or not arising out of any breach of these Terms or negligence), whether or not foreseeable by iForce Auctions Ltd.

iForce Trading Ltd reserves the right to close auctions or sales early or to extend auctions and sales at any time and at its discretion. iForce Auctions Ltd does not guarantee that Bids received will be processed and does not accept any liability for any direct or indirect loss so caused. Auctions or sales may also be cancelled or listings withdrawn because of technical difficulties experienced by iForce Auctions Ltd, its partners or agents or due to technical issues experienced on the Internet.

Winning

iForce Trading Ltd shall notify a winning Bid by email to the Buyer. A shipping cost is determined and an invoice is generated and emailed to the buyer to include this charge.

The shipping rate determined by the Seller will be as per the shipping charges detailed on the individual Lots or Goods won by the Buyer. These charges will normally be consolidated, where possible, for the Buyer at the discretion of the Seller. These charges will appear on our invoice to you.

Paying

Each auction is conducted in GBP (£) and payment can only be accepted in GBP (£).

The Buyer shall make the appropriate payment to iForce Auctions Ltd within 7 calendar days of the invoice date.

If payment is not received within 7 days the goods will be re-auctioned or otherwise disposed of by iForce Auctions Ltd. In this eventuality your account will be suspended indefinitely. In addition you will also be invoiced for a re-stocking fee of £10.00 +VAT per Lot and be liable for any loss or consequential loss to the Seller resulting on a re-sale of any items in question.

The Buyer agrees that Credit Card payments may be made to the Seller via external websites to the Sellers Websites, that are believed to be secure, that the Buyer is directed to via the Sellers Websites. These payment gateways are not owned or operated by iForce Auctions Ltd and the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that iForce Auctions Ltd cannot and will not be liable to any Customer or any third party for any direct or indirect loss or damage, or for any loss of data, profit or business, (whether or not arising out of any breach of these Terms or negligence), whether or not foreseeable by iForce Auctions Ltd, that may arise from using such payment systems.

Title in the Goods remains with (and Goods remain the property of) the Seller until full cleared funds are received by the Seller from the Buyer.

Dispatch

Items for dispatch are sent as soon as possible after full cleared payment has been received by iForce Auctions Ltd. This is usually the next working day. The delivery service that we typically use means that goods will usually be delivered the next working day, however this is not guaranteed as we are unable to guarantee the service delivery of the chosen couriers. For pallet / bulk and oversized goods / purchases we typically use a 3 working day pallet delivery service. Please note that delivery services may be able to be upgraded prior to dispatch but the availability of these services are not guaranteed.

Collecting

The collection of the Goods won by a Buyer is NOT always possible. Where goods are able to be collected then this is usually detailed on the description of the Goods online on the Website.

Please contact Customer Services to confirm prior to Bidding if you are unsure if collection is possible as rejection of won items is not possible where a Bidder mistakenly believes that goods can be collected when they cannot. Once a Bidder places a Bid on a Lot this becomes an irrevocable offer to buy and cannot be revoked where a Bidder has miss-understood the availability of collection services on such goods. iForce Auctions Ltd will have no liability for any loss or consequential loss incurred by a Bidder or third parties arising from a Bidder failing to check the availability of collection services on any Lot.

The customer's rights

Auctions (by way of bidding)

A strict time period of 7 days from receipt / collection (with the exception of handballed items) of the won goods is available for items to be inspected by the winning Bidder and a rejection requested for change of mind. If the volume of goods won requires a longer grace period for inspection then the winning Bidder must request via email and agree an extension with the Sellers Customer Services staff. After this allotted time our vendors will be paid and therefore no refunds, credits or other recompense is possible. iForce Auctions Ltd must be informed of such problems via email to Customer Services within 7 days of receipt / collection of the Goods.

iForce Trading Ltd cannot accept any returns for any other reason.

Distance selling contracts (by way of using the "Buy Now" option)

You have the right to cancel your order - which is concluded by the aforementioned technical means ("Buy Now") - without stating any reason within 7 working days in writing or in another durable medium. The period starts on the day after the day on which the goods were received.

Upon exercising the right to cancel the customer has to bear the direct costs of returning the articles.

Definitions
